BookCritics (259 KP) rated Magpie Murders in Books
Jun 12, 2017
I recommend this to you if you’ve read quite some Agatha Christie and appreciate a crime novel inspired by her work. She is mentioned quite a lot in the book, so if you don’t know the author or don’t like her books, I think you’ll find this irritating.

Andy Serkis ape mannerisms
Interesting take on the origins of the Ape world
A really interesting take in the origins of the Ape revolution. I enjoyed this a lot. Andy Setkis as Ceaser deserves all the exclaim he got, and Franco gives a good performance
my one gripe is that it felt a tad long and for me would have worked better around 90mins.

I like FB, but the app itself is shoddy at best. It takes up a lot of memory, and if you're an android user you've probably encountered the fact that all the newer phones no longer allow for apps to move over to an external SDCard, meaning that apps like FB make your phone memory full...which sucks even more because it comes pre-installed on all the new androids, too.

Well, I'm not quite sure what to say about this book. It was okay. There were parts that really dragged on & on, but there were some portions that did redeem the book a little bit. All in all it was just a strange story though. There wasn't a whole lot happening which made it difficult for me to get through. It was very descriptive, but I hated the ending.

Goes some way to repairing the damage Iron Fist did to Claire Temple's character
A slow burner with great attention to story
Colour schemes for each Defender spread throughout the series
It took too long for all of them to get together (2 more)
Marvel shows usually have 13 episodes and this had 8 - this impacted the story a lot
Iron Fist
Not a knock-out but still brilliant
Erika (17789 KP) rated Chasing Aphrodite in Books

This book was full of insight. If you've ever wondered how some museums got certain antiquities, this has a lot of answers. While, it doesn't happen with every single museum, it still makes you wonder. This book focuses on the J. Paul Getty Museum in LA. It was immensely readable, and I loved it. The book also had an amazing bibliography, which led me to other books about the same subject.
Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated Knit Socks!: 17 Patterns for Cozy Feet in Books

Nice patterns, but nothing I haven't seen before. I like most of them, but again it's your average sock knitting book. I guess there's only so many socks under the sun? I really like fair isle and there were only a few fair isle and color combo socks. There was a lot of lace and I don't do lace. It really depends on what kind of socks you like.

A little slow at the beginning
Interesting book
This book is a little slow to start off. That would be my biggest criticism of it. However, once it gets going, it's a roller coaster ride from there. The book just gets more interesting the further you go. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to read a good book.

Love these books, so much more in them than in the series. Don't get me wrong I like the series as well yet with the books I can read them over and over again, which I can't do with the series unless I can afford to buy the DVD's. In the books we find out a lot more about the characters and how they became queen of the dragons, etc.
